lirik lagu peggy ashcroft - corinna's going a-maying
get up, get up for shame, the blooming morne
upon her wings presents the god unsh~rne
see how aurora throwes her faire
fresh~quilted colours through the aire:
get up, sweet~slug~a~bed, and see
the dew~bespangling herbe and tree
each flower has wept, and bow’d toward the east
above an houre since; yet you not drest
nay! not so much as out of bed?
when all the birds have mattens seyd
and sung their thankful hymnes: ’tis sin
nay, profanation to keep in
when as a thousand virgins on this day
spring, sooner than thе lark, to fetch in may
rise; and put on your foliage, and bе seene
to come forth, like the spring~time, fresh and greene;
and sweet as flora. take no care
for jewels for your gowne, or haire:
feare not; the leaves will strew
gemms in abundance upon you:
besides, the childhood of the day has kept
against you come, some orient pearls unwept:
come, and receive them while the light
hangs on the dew~locks of the night:
and titan on the eastern hill
retires himselfe, or else stands still
till you come forth. wash, dresse, be briefe in praying:
few beads are best, when once we goe a maying
come, my corinna, come; and comming, marke
how each field turns a street; each street a parke
made green, and trimm’d with trees: see how
devotion gives each house a bough
or branch: each porch, each doore, ere this
an arke a tabernacle is
made up of white~th~rn neatly enterwove;
as if here were those cooler shades of love
can such delights be in the street
and open fields, and we not see’t?
come, we’ll abroad; and let’s obay
the proclamation made for may:
and sin no more, as we have done, by staying;
but my corinna, come, let’s goe a maying
there’s not a budding boy, or girle, this day
but is got up, and gone to bring in may
a deale of youth, ere this, is come
back, and with white~th~rn laden home
some have dispatcht their cakes and creame
before that we have left to dreame:
and some have wept, and woo’d, and plighted troth
and chose their priest, ere we can cast off sloth:
many a green~gown has been given;
many a kisse, both odde and even:
many a glance too has been sent
from out the eye, loves firmament:
many a jest told of the keyes betraying
this night, and locks pickt, yet w’are not a maying
come, let us goe, while we are in our prime;
and take the harmlesse follie of the time
we shall grow old apace, and die
before we know our liberty
our life is short; and our dayes run
as fast away as do’s the sunne:
and as a vapour, or a drop of raine
once lost, can ne’r be found againe:
so when or you or i are made
a fable, song, or fleeting shade;
all love, all liking, all delight
lies drown’d with us in endlesse night
then while time serves, and we are but decaying;
come, my corinna, come, let’s goe a maying
